The January transfer window is becoming increasingly intense for Napoli and Milan, with two renewal stories that have captured the attention of fans and the media. For Napoli, midfielder Zambo Anguissa is at the center of a negotiation that is moving away from the previous agreement. For Milan, the defense is evaluating a new signing, with Greek midfielder Tasos Douvikas having just signed a long contract with Como.
Anguissa, who hit his best form last year, had been close to signing an extension with Napoli. However, an injury shifted the negotiations, and the proposals changed. In the past the proposal was four million euros per year, with a bonus of around two and a half million. A draft contract until 2028, with an option for 2029, appeared to be closing. Now, however, the midfielder demands six million a year for a four-year contract, a figure that contrasts with the club's savings philosophy. Anguissa will turn 31 in mid-November, which would mean a contract that would cover him until he's 35. Napoli will have to decide whether to accept this new request or whether to look for alternatives.
Meanwhile, Como confirmed the stay of Tasos Douvikas, who signed a renewal until 2031. The Greek player, who scored 27 goals and provided five assists in 68 appearances, was a key element in bringing the club success, including the brace that helped Sassuolo consolidate their position. Como praised Douvikas' performance and his growth within the club.
For Milan, the defense is still looking for reinforcements. Brest central midfielder Le Guen has emerged as a potential option. The club has already identified other profiles, including Gonçalo Inacio, Reggiani and Tiago Gabriel, but no final decision has been made. Milan is aware of the importance of strengthening the defense and has shown that it is ready to move decisively. However, Brest's situation is still uncertain, as the French club may not want to sell their talent mid-season.
In summary, the January transfer window continues to be a turning point for many teams. Napoli must negotiate with Anguissa to avoid a possible exodus, while Como celebrates Douvikas' stay. Milan, for its part, is waiting to confirm a new defender, with several options in sight. The next few weeks will be decisive in understanding how these negotiations will evolve and what impact they will have on the respective teams.
